ACCF "World First" Anti-Cancer Program in Bhutan croppeddsc00400.jpg

 

The Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation, the vaccine manufacturer Merck, Sharp & Dohme Corp. and the Royal Government of Bhutan have formed a partnership to launch a world first ground-breaking Anti-Cancer Program, to vaccinate the entire eligible female population of the developing nation of Bhutan, with Gardasil™ cervical cancer vaccine which would have a retail value in Australia of nearly $40 million.

Her Majesty, The Royal Grandmother of Bhutan officially launched the program on 5th May 2010.  All Bhutanese women aged between 12 and 18 years, approximately 103,000 young women, will be eligible to receive the vaccine over the next 6 years.
